#BBNaija 2018 Day 29: Housemates To Participate In The ‘ROC The Mat’ Challenge

With this theme of the fifth week titled “Arts and Music”, big brother instructed the #bbnaija housemates pairs to choose songs from a selected track list for their Task. The #bbnaija Housemates were strongly advised to rehearse their acts as they will be interpreting famous Nigerian hit songs to the whole #BBNaija universe.

Overall, the challenge appeared to be warmly welcome as the #bbnaija Housemates are known to enjoy belting out tunes and improvising dance moves. Alex however vented her frustration, saying that she didn’t feel confident enough with having to interpret Nigeria’s highly acclaimed Davido’s ‘Like That’ song that was assigned to her by big brother.

Rico swavey made it known to everyone that he would just cry should his favourite artist Nigerian sensation Tekno appear in the #bbnaija House. As it happens, Rico along with Bambam, Miracle and Anto, were given Tekno’s tracks ‘Pana’ and ‘Diana’ to work on.

Cee-C and Lolu were tasked with developing a version of the Nigeria’s songstress Tiwa Savage’s ‘All Over’ smashing record. Tena (Teddy A and Mina) together with Lifu (Leo and Ifu Ennada) also rose to the challenge of interpreting two of Nigerian pop star WizKid’s most famous tunes ‘Everytime’ and ‘Final’.

Not long afterwards, Biggie’s voice resonated in the lounge as a Ninja entered the #bbnaija House and the housemates were amazed to discover fourteen numbered boxes lined up in the glass room.

Angel was chosen to pick a key from the Ninja and open the box with the corresponding number to the key. Inside each box were two outcomes: a reward and a punishment but more exciting was the token gift from Pepsi, the sponsors of the challenge.

It seems biggie wants the #bbnaija Housemates to be aware that the winner of the task would be awarded an all-expenses paid VIP trip to attend the One Africa Music Fest in London. The Housemates cheered up loudly upon hearing this, and Angel even tried a joke by translating Biggie’s sentences in Pidgin, which elicited laughter from all in the house.
